About the community

Yedidya is a liberal Orthodox community

The community is located in Jerusalem’s Baka neighborhood comprising some 190 households. Yedidya was founded in 1980 by a vanguard of women and men who saw a need for a Jerusalem community whose services accord with the halacha while allowing the active participation of all the members.

Through its social vision and its commitment to the Torah and mitzvot, Kehillat Yedidya crosses boundaries in Israeli society. It is an active community that works together for a more just, democratic, and pluralist society, while fostering a vibrant communal life of Torah study, mutual aid, and charity.
